a) Hourly rate at time of injury: Need
to know if the employee is paid by the following:

Standard (include shift differential if
the employee was earning it when injured) or Piece rate or Tips

b) Hours per week
Multiply by the usual scheduled hours

d) Additional weekly compensation from
Section 3.

Section2) GROSS WAGE

a) The gross taxable wages earned in
the 52 week period prior to the week of the injury (exclude tips)

b) Divide by the number of weeks worked
in the 52 week period prior to the week of injury.

d) Add additional weekly compensation
from Section #3.

Section 3) ADDITIONS TO CASH WAGE
RECEIVED BY EMPLOYEE PER WEEK

In our example the employee received 12 free meals per week. The total number of meals per week are then multiplied
by the rate for meals from the Equal Rights "Wisconsin Maximum
Allowances for Board an Lodging" chart. Our example happened in
1998 and the meal rate was $2.95 per meal.
